Sunderland v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

If we're that bad then today is a good result. You can't have it both ways.

You havent seen todays game have you.how about laying people until you have.

It'll be fascinating to see how many people Dave can lay before Match of the Day.

You're absolutely right. I wasn't watching the match on my computer this afternoon. What a disgrace that makes me.

Now please tell me, because I'd love to know:

How does watching a match or not make any difference to what constitutes a good result, and how does it mean I'm not allowed to have an opinion?

[Dave Clark Five]

Ther

Dave are you actually making a point?

Paul hit the nail on the head, we can't buy a win at the moment and Mcleish's team selection and tactics are shite and have isolated Bent.

A confident Bent would have slotted that ball home 6 yards out today.
We can't defend, we don't score many and we have no midfield.

Paul Merson summed us up before kickoff "villa might nick a goal but their not gonna put 3 or 4 past them" and that's against Sunderland.

The point I am making is that today we played a game which almost half of even our supporters thought we would lose according to the poll on here and which bookies made Sunderland strong favourites to win. We got a point and could/should have got three. I would say that's worth a bit of praise to the team, instead of which we're getting constant, repetitive whinging.

What's your point?

My Point is the manager isn't good enough, we are hindering Bent's quality and we are playing a useless lump in midfield (heskey).

My point is on current form we are heading for a relegation battle.

I'm not constantly whining every week, I am always positive and nearly always vote Villa win, but I'm really depressed at the state of our club at the moment.

Are you upset because we didn't lose?

You have been having a go at anyone tonight,who hasn't been throwing one out that we got a point at Sunderland.

I haven't, and neither have I seen any sort of justification for the moaning that accompanied it.

@ Dave Clark five, don't be daft.

The justification is as my earlier post Dave.
In both of our last two games we could, and should, have done better.
Not a whinge. A fact.  Borne out of frustration for the team we love and want to see do better.

Because a point today is not a good result.When you see the game you will see how shit Sunderland are.
We should have came away with 3 easy points but we didn't because we have no defence.

[dave.woodhall]

And at the risk of repetition, when you're as bad as some of our own supporters say we are, it's a good result.

Is that reverse psychology?

[TelfordVilla]

I'm with Dave W, you build from draws and then start turning them into wins. Give AM a chance, I don't think we will be world beaters but he needs time.

Confidence isn't built in a few months it takes time.

    So draw against all the dross in the league to get the confidence to go on and beat all the better teams in the league ? As a plan ...this is very bad. In reality it is relegation for sure.

[gervilla]

Lets see how confident we are after our 6 games in December when we could get something in the game at Bolton  ( as long as they keep going the way they are) and very little else. If people think we aren't in the shit now, the turn of the year should drill it home.

[rob_bridge]

I wonder if Sunderland go ahead and sack Bruce later on in the season whether the football-expert Faulkner will tap him up to take over from AM.

[Dave Clark Five]

McLeish does not control Bent like a puppet on a string. Bent bottled that sitter and it cost us.
